A blog dedicated to sharing photos, source documents, and stories of my ancestors and hopefully finding others who can help add to the family history that I don't yet know.

John Fell Squires (1846-1933): News Article
John Fell Squires was my 2nd great grandfather.
I found this article in the Logan, Utah Herald Journal from 2003. Apparently the owners of the house of John Fell Squires wanted to tear it down. A historic committee had to decide whether to allow this or to preserve this house in Logan, Utah of a historic figure from Logan's past. I'm not sure what was decided on the house but I found the information about my 2nd great grandfather very interesting.
Among the interesting things was that he was the first ranger Cache National Forest. He had also worked as a barber like his father John Paternoster Squires (although it sounds like he didn't really enjoy that work.)
